Oh my - especially the Pine Barrens! I didn't know they ever man fire towers any more. I don't recall seeing one manned since the late 1960's when I climbed up to talk to a fire ranger in the Catskill mountains. He told me he majored in forestry in college and one of my ancestors was a...

The fire towers in the Pine Barrens are manned now!?

Is there any identifying writing on it? There are Utube videos of people finding old machinery and vehicles and managing to bring them back to life.

Like others have said, amazing photographs - and how much more amazing to have actually been there and seen it! I've never seen anything like it. PS Is your first name Rumpel?

"...more exposure you get, the more sensitive you get" Might that be something related to what's been happening to me with insect - mostly ant - bites (that I wrote about in my self-deleted thread) because i never used to have a bad reaction to them? Oh, never mind...If u say "yes" or "no"...

Bobpbx - I deleted it because it wasn't about the NJPB or ticks. Sorry. Insects and arachnids are on the war path! PS I still have it and can put it back if u want, but it was mainly about ants - ants in Arizona!

I bet there's an old VW "Fastback" that's still bogged down in the sand on some obscure side road in the Plains and I know how it got there too, because I bumped into the guy who bogged it there - oh I dunno maybe forty years ago, something like that.

But green VW's are good. That great VW "Super Beetle" i mentioned above was dark green. Good camouflage in the NJPB.

I bought a used VW Beetle once and it had over 300,000 miles on it when I finally gave it away, and most of that was NYC driving too. It still ran like new but rust destroyed it. I never changed the trans. oil and the trans. was like new. I never changed the engine oil either, just replaced the...

My 1975 front wheel drive Subaru was good down there too.

Yep, plus they were lightweight and narrow and had good ground clearance, plus I cld dip a rag in the gas tank to get some gasoline to put on ticks (u can't do that with the new cars) to make them back out, tho they then said, "Don't do dat!",

My 1957 rear wheel drive VW Beetle went through those narrow sandy Pine Barrens roads great. I think this one in the (1971) picture was a '61, but I did have a '57 VW briefly too. I had a few of them. I'm forgetting which was which now. My last one was a 1968 Super Beetle that I bought used...

I used to go on century rides - 100 mile bicycle rides - starting in - I forgot the name of that nice town in central NJ - and going into PA. Once I went up a long hill, as I recall, to a town named Zion in NJ. I felt like I had entered the Twilight Zone. I saw robotic people walking stiffly...

Pineland-P, Pine Branch C is hard to find, I'm in a bind It slips my mind. It seems to be situated by a hamlet called "Blackwood Ter", which must stand for Terrace, I guess, but u never know in New Jersey. It's not like we're talking about a civilized place. They actually play golf in New...

Seriously though, it makes me happy to know that deep within the Pine Barrens it still remains the same. Below - Pine Branch Creek 22 Sep 1971. pinelandpaddler - I too used to be a pineland paddler. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to make that rhyme with green ham. If I could I would...

:)

Yeah b-b-but maybe it changed since you were there last! :)

Where should I send my hat? :(

Can you find that exact place again? If I'm wrong - but I'm never wrong - the last time they thought I was wrong was in 1861 but it turned out I was right and they were wrong! - but if I'm wrong, I'll throw my hat up in a tree - or mail u my hat to throw up for me - and ever after the place...

It's not a tree Why can't you see? It's not green ham It's not a damn It's not ice cream It's just a stream! It could use some additional pixels.
